Once again, Discovery will be hosting a Get Active weekend around the Discovery Duathlon Cape Town and the Discovery Triathlon World Cup Cape Town, both on 11 February 2018.

The Discovery Get Active weekend brings professional athletes and sports enthusiasts alike together to experience a weekend of swimming, cycling and running through the scenic Mother City. Not only will it get your heart racing, but it will also provide a weekend of fun and meeting new people who share something in common – the love of being active.

Cape Town To Host The Only World Cup Event On African Soil

This Discovery Triathlon Cape Town will kick off the international circuit as the opening race on the International Triathlon Union (ITU) global calendar. The Cape Town triathlon is the only World Cup event that takes place on African soil. It attracts the best triathletes in the world including world and Olympic champions, as well as sports enthusiasts and lovers from across the country.

Home-grown men’s defending triathlon champ, Richard Murray, enthuses of the Cape Town event, saying, “To race in front of my home crowd and Table Mountain is always a pleasure.” He also enjoys the dynamic of the race format: “I’m a big fan of the sprint distance events – it’s fast, furious and comes down to the line sometimes.”

Expect A Full Day Of Racing Entertainment

In addition, the duathlon will now fall on the same day as the triathlon, which means spectators will be treated to a full day of entertainment. The start times of each wave have been scheduled to ensure that athletes and spectators enjoy an action-packed day of racing. Cape Town has developed a strong track record as an events destination, and for good reason – stunning views, lovely people and happy vibes.

The Discovery Duathlon Makes Multisport More Accessible

Whether you’re a professional athlete or a newbie to multisport, there’s nothing like the adrenalin rush of combining two or more disciplines into one, exciting event. The Discovery Duathlon Cape Town offers those interested in a multisport event the chance to experience the run-cycle-run format for themselves. The duathlon makes multisport more accessible, allowing contestants who prefer running and cycling to compete while leaving the crisp Cape waters to triathletes.

The weekend promises to cater for high-performance athletes, age groupers and novices alike. It also allows participants to experience the beauty of Cape Town and spend a day out at iconic locations, such as the V&A Waterfront and Green Point Athletics Stadium. Are you excited yet? Because we are!

This event is a must if you’re looking to challenge yourself and test your limits.
